He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Because you are human.

We will grow old, get sick, get injured, and die.

But if you become a demon, all these constraints will disappear. Whether it's a hundred years or two hundred years, you can train consistently and continuously grow stronger.

"Decline, aging, and the march towards death—this is a beautiful thing that only short-lived creatures like humans can experience!"

Faced with Akaza's temptation, Kyojuro remained unmoved, his gaze firm as he said, "It is precisely because people grow old and die that life is so lovely and so precious."

The term "powerful" is not just an adjective used to describe physical strength.

These people bear the mission of humanity's future, and for that they are willing to risk their lives to fight enemies many times stronger than themselves... They are not weak at all, and you must not insult them.

I can say it as many times as you want, but your values ​​and mine are completely different. No matter how many reasons you give me, I will not become a ghost.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with gratitude.

Although they are dedicated to protecting the future of humanity, no one has ever respected them as much as they have ever... Of course, it's not that people don't respect them, but rather that no one has ever shown them such respect.

At least, nobody cares what they think.

"That's it!"

Akaza sighed softly, his tone filled with regret.

Then, he stomped his right foot, and a twelve-pointed snowflake pattern rose from the ground.

"Spell activated, Destruction Kill - Compass Needle!"

Akaza stands with his legs slightly bent and outstretched in a V-shape. His left hand is clenched into a fist and placed on his waist, while his right hand is extended forward with a palm open. His target is Tamayo!

"Lord Jushi!"

Yushiro shouted in concern, instinctively rushing forward to shield Tamayo behind him.

But someone was faster than him.

Kyojuro took a deep breath, his body radiating heat as if on fire, distorting the surrounding air and completely concealing Tamayo behind him.

It wasn't that his body was actually on fire or generating high temperatures, but rather that Kyojuro was wholeheartedly protecting Tamayo. His determination made his spirit and courage fixated on this matter, giving people the illusion that Tamayo was protected by flames.

Despite facing Kyojuro's demeanor, Akaza remained relaxed.

"Don't be so nervous!"

Akaza smiled and said, "Because of that lord's orders, my priority is to bring this woman back. But to be honest, I really hate fighting women. If you can get that woman to promise not to run away when I fight you, I will not attack her for now."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Tamayo.

Tamayo remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with her, and said indifferently, "I believe in Mr. Kyojuro."

In reality, whether she agrees or not is not important.

If she doesn't agree, Akaza will attack her first, and then the Flame Pillar will have to fight Akaza to protect her, making the already difficult battle even more difficult to win.

"I will definitely not let Miss Tamayo down."

Kyojuro said with great confidence,

"Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about!"

After Akaza finished speaking, he stomped his foot and his figure turned into a blur as he rushed towards Kyojuro.

Its speed was so fast that even its afterimage was distorted and elongated, making it completely different from the previous Lower Moon Five.

"boom!"

Before anyone could react, Akaza reappeared in front of Kyojuro and engaged him in combat.

He had no weapon; he only relied on the clash of his fists against the blade, producing a loud metallic clang.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Akaza's thirst for battle with the strong was satisfied, and he became even more excited, swinging his fists and clashing with the blazing blades... Waves of air burst forth, sparks flashed, and clanging sounds echoed.

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant, their fists flying everywhere and their sword energy like rainbows.

Within the battle zone, it was like another dimension; any creature that tried to enter would be instantly shredded into mincemeat.

"Clang clang..."

The two unleashed a flurry of attacks, employing a variety of exquisite fist and sword techniques in conjunction with their footwork, running and colliding back and forth in the hundreds of meters of ruins and rubble, creating sparks and waves of heat.

So fast, so fast...

The surviving special forces soldiers had planned to provide sniping support after the battle began, but when they raised their weapons and tried to aim, they found that they could not catch a glimpse of the enemy at all.

No, let alone capturing the other person's figure, even just seeing a blurry shadow is extremely difficult.

The sounds of violent collisions were deafening, but all they could see were sparks and shockwaves flashing everywhere.

It was truly a case of hearing his voice but never seeing him.

Not only these ordinary special forces members, but also those who have been transformed into ghosts, have had their nerve reactions and vision greatly enhanced, surpassing those of normal humans. Coulson was also shocked to find that he could not see the two fighting at all.

What's going on here?

Haven't I become extraordinary?

Why do these two seem like they're not even ordinary people in their confrontation?

Not only Coulson, but Tony was also starting to have doubts about life.

Although his physical abilities were only those of an average person, even inferior to those of an ordinary soldier.

But his brain is unparalleled; his powerful thinking speed and computing ability allowed him to conquer cold fusion technology in one night and shrink it to the size of a goose egg.

With such a brain, coupled with Jarvis's assistance, even in supersonic combat (ace air combat) against the enemy, there will be no discomfort whatsoever.

From the start of the battle, he was constantly calculating Akaza's position and taking aim.

To his surprise, even though he could calculate Akaza's next step, the next step after that, and even the next step after that... and lock onto it, he still couldn't hit it accurately.

Because they were too fast.

Although it's not faster than a bullet, it's fast enough that you can dodge it even after it's been fired.

The laser that previously severed the head could now hit its target.

But that was Tony's trump card; an energy reactor could only be used once.

He's already used it, so he can't use it now.

"Sir, if you want to help, you'll have to engage in close combat. But I must remind you that the opponent's punches have reached the limit of your armor's defense; the same area cannot withstand more than three attacks."

"This is absolutely terrible!"

Upon hearing Jarvis's report, Tony felt extremely heavy-hearted.

His previous enemies were either ordinary terrorists, fighter jets, attack helicopters, or modified Iron Mongers... Among these enemies, supersonic fighter jets were also very fast, even much faster than these two.

But bulky machines cannot be as flexible as humans.

Fighter jets need to fly a certain distance and make a turn to avoid an attack, but a person only needs to take a step back or lean their body.

While both involve supersonic combat, ace aerial combat and close-quarters melee are two completely different concepts.

Tony had never encountered such fast enemies before, nor had he ever imagined that such people existed in the world. Therefore, he was unprepared to deal with them and could only stand by and watch helplessly.

As for rushing in for hand-to-hand combat...

Indeed, given the power output of the Mark armor, a single punch would inflict considerable damage on the opponent.

But the prerequisite is that it hits.

Although Tony was a novice in martial arts, he understood human biomechanics. He could tell that every punch and sword swing from the two fighters was executed in the optimal and most biomechanically sound way possible under the current circumstances.

The psychological game and the speed of reaction to each move were pleasing to the eye for an outsider like him, but the actual calculations were shocking.

Faced with such an enemy, even the proud Tony had to admit that if he went to help, he might end up making things worse.

Although I'm very unwilling, this is reality.

but……

"Jarvis, analyze their moves for me!"

Tony gave the order.

Even if he can't help right now, he can't just do nothing. Tony Stark isn't some nobody who just stands by.

……

"Clang clang clang..."

The battle between Akaza and Kyojuro did not slow down because of the wild speculations of others; on the contrary, it became faster and more intense.

Their figures appeared in every corner, and the aftershocks of their battle leveled the ruins and debris of the area, making it open and flat.

"Kyojuro, you should just become a demon!"

Akaza waved his fist and said regretfully, "You've already reached the level where you can fight me to your heart's content, so promise me you'll become a demon and then fight me to your heart's content, and keep getting stronger!"

"I refuse!"

With a broad, arcing slash, Akaza was forced back. Kyojuro's chest heaved slightly, but his gaze remained as firm as ever, without the slightest change.

"Why? Why?"

Akaza pressed forward again, engaging him in battle and giving him no chance to breathe. At the same time, he shouted, "I really can't understand!"

In the past, I have encountered several Pillars, all of whom are among the strongest, and they, like you, rejected my proposal.

why?

Only those who are chosen can become ghosts, and you are all qualified to be chosen, so why do you refuse?

As someone who also pursues the highest level of martial arts, I truly cannot understand!

"..."

Kyojuro did not answer, but instead swung his sword with even greater focus, making the swings faster and more fierce.
